I've been to the other 2 Indian restaurants in Des Moines (India Star and Taste Of India), and this is the best one. I'm an Indian myself, so I do know a thing or two about good Indian food. This restaurant has the best interior design and the best food. Taste Of India is good, but they are not consistent. India Star is absolutely horrible and their service is rude, but Tandoor is top-notch. They make their dishes slightly differently than tradition, but it is still authentic and the taste (which should be the most important thing) is great.
Pros: Best Indian food in town. Good ambiance. Friendly staff.
Cons: Price above average. Needs more vegetarian dishes.
